Well, I finally bit a small bullet and traded my wife's civic in yesterday (she get's mine when I'm home but I still use it to commute) and bought a new to me F250. It's a 2002 ext cab, 4x4 with the 5.4. She rides 100x better than my '96 Diesel does....??? Plus I think sponsors will be willing to wrap it much quicker than the old girl. Plus it's automatic....nice for the wife who will have to drive it when I'm at work with the other civic. And the ext cab is actually suicide doors, easier for the kids to climb in unlike my old one. Short bed loses some cargo room, but shorter wheel base makes backing the boat into the yard a LOT easier. I will miss the power, but not the extra $.35 per gallon for fuel.
Oh, and it matches the boat!
